An investigation has been launched against Agriculture and Forestry University’s agricultural faculty dean Jay Prakash Dutta after an objectionable video involving Dutta was leaked.

“We are aware of the video that has been circulating in the local online media,” said varsity’s Vice Chancellor Punya Regmi.

“An investigation into the matter has been launched and necessary action will be taken against the accused if found guilty.”

On February 15, Dutta was allegedly involved in objectionable acts with a woman, in the Agricultural department office, during an ongoing Zoom call. A short clip of the call was leaked on social media sites on Wednesday.
